    Hate to point this out, but Kara has been here for years of real time and has featured in numerous adventures. Forget reoccurring character, Kara is a supporting cast member (as much as anyone is) right now. Even if she's "resolved" she's been around a long time now. Interesting idea, but...

    It doesn't have to be a kangaroo court. Amalak gets to propose a jurisdiction and OL's side gets to accept or decline, until they can mutually agree.

    With a story with so many subplots and moving parts, it definitely helped to have a "recap what's going on" scene to orient the readers. Now the question is, will Batman realize he's being investigated? He'll probably at least suspect it once he hears there are Darkstars on Earth, with OL's...

    This just falls under the shit that superheroes do every day. Complaining about Superman flying off to check something out without properly informing everyone... come on. That's not how Superman works. That's now how any of them work. They do what they're going to do as seems right to them...

    Now, now. As frustrating as they've been recently, Daxamites wouldn't even crack the top third if you ordered species from least awful at the bottom to most awful at the top. (Indeed, I'm not totally confident they wouldn't be somewhere below humans.)

    Some time back I floated the theory that Metron was Batman's source for New God technology. I wonder if that will pay off given the unusual interest Metron is showing in the SI. Then there's the Eradicator's claim it had another source for power rings. Metron could make a power ring if he had...

    Let's try it with a little something further removed from contemporary politics. I'm in the Roman Republic and I just came back from a term as governor in a province, having engaged in all sorts of bribe-taking, theft, and abuse of local notables for my own profit. A tribune hauls me before...

    Well hey Batman, time to show off those OMACs you said you were justified in creating. This is exactly the sort of over-powered invasion threat they are for, right? Come on, chop-chop, if the Mad Hatter can use them to beat up Supergirls, you ought to be able to fight Kryptonian robots. Oh...

    Will this is going far beyond a mere custody dispute. Congratulations to Zoat for planting the seeds under our nose. In retrospect, wasn't it a bit off that the Daxamites would have been willing to pull one of their spaceships out of storage and mount an interplanetary expedition for a single...

    I get the feeling Paul is only entertaining these suggestions, coming close to making an agreement that sends Sodam back to Daxam, because he knows the Daxamite contingent is going to do something crazy and he'll never have to follow through. Now he can toss the recording at the Justice League...

    I really think I may be the person in this thread most sympathetic to abusive parents. It's a tough job, and the only training most people get is their memories of being children themselves. Most abusive parents aren't really evil people, they're just fucking up a job they'd like to do well...

    I think the Kryptonian we have seen who was the absolute best with his powers was Nazi Superman, and he was really, really good. He had decades to practice, had gotten training in the exotic energy manipulation and mind training Kryptonian arts somewhere, a lot of motivation to get as powerful...

    Yeah, Martians aren't Kryptonians but they are considerable stronger than humans. A few extra Gs probably wouldn't be that big a deal. A bigger problem for J'aarkn is that you can walk around modern technological societies all day and not encounter any open flame, but a "primitivist" society...

    I wonder how Daxamite culture is able to keep such a tight grip on its people. They don't seem to have a very compelling ideology, just a lot of "Nuh-Uh". Surely Sodam isn't the first or last of them to question things. When he gets a little older, maybe Sodam will check if there's a Daxamite...

    How old is Sodam, anyway? I read the link to his first appearance, and even there when OL asks him old he is he just says "old enough". There have been a lot of references to Sodam as a child and a youth, etc., but it's unclear to me if he's 10, 12, 14 or what. Even in just an approximate sense.

    Hilarious thoughts: 1. The SI has two of those four working for him. 2. The Empire of Tears, a multi-galactic empire that runs on magic, is pretty cool. Paul when he hears about the interstellar civilization running on magic. :) Evil demonic magic. 😭

    Okay, look, what is it you wanted them to say? "Okay Paul, you're right, we're going to turn the boy's mother away and tell her to shove off."? A few points: 1. No specific accusation of mistreatment of Sodam has been rendered against Sodam's mother. Even the attempted murder of the alien...

    Nothing incurs the wrath of readers more than the idea that a protagonist might have to defend his actions. I don't find some tense words so unreasonable.

    I don't recall exactly how old Sodom Yat is in human terms (which probably isn't that much different from how humans age in childhood). Is he supposed to be 8, 10, 12...? I assume about 12, but I could be wrong. Sodom has a power ring, and I'm sure the SI will point out that no one is...

    My perception of Stagg from the comics is that at his best, he's your usual amoral CEO who would happily break any law and exploit any person where he thought he could get away with it, if it would bring him more money and power, but he maintains a reasonable grip on whether he can in fact "get...
